History
The school was founded in 1949 by the Handmaids of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in response to requests from United States Air Force families seeking an education for their children. The school began as a kindergarten in 1949 with four American students, moved to Gotanda in 1962 with 70 students and added a first grade. By 1970, the school was up to grade 9 and in 1973, a year after Seisen was moved to the present location in Yoga, the school was extended to include Grade 12.
CIS International Schools Directory 2009/10, mentions that Seisen has approximately 700 students from around 60 nations.
